Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Springs was off to a fantastic start in 2023 with 24 strikeouts in 16 innings and one earned run off a solo homer until a precautionary removal of him from a start against Boston led to worse news that he had indeed torn his UCL. He had surgery on April 23rd, which all but rules him out of the first half of the 2024 season. Given the Rays conservative approach with pitchers coming back from injuries like this, take the under on whatever projection the marketplace is putting on his workload. Remember that the last thing that comes back for these pitchers is their command and feel for the baseball, two things that are critical to Springs's success given his lack of pure velocity and his dependency of his changeup. Keeper league managers can try to score a late bargain with him while reset league managers are wasting a draft pick because there are no guarantees Springs pitches effectively once he returns.

Throws off mound
Springs (elbow) has thrown off a mound twice in the last week, Marc Topkin of Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Springs underwent Tommy John surgery in April, and his recent throwing sessions mark his first off a mound while recovering. It's a positive step, but he's still not expected to return until sometime in July.

Brad Johnson moves to pitching in the American League East, where in Baltimore, the Orioles signed pitching Ace Corbin Burnes to lead the team.
These six pitchers, including Minnesota's Louie Varland, may not have locked-in rotation spots, but they have the skills to succeed if they can secure a job.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Springs began the season in a multi-inning reliever capacity before being used as an opener and then primary pitcher before transitioning into a traditional starter. He started 22 games as the latter, posting a 2.61 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 113.2 innings with a 26.4% strikeout rate and 6.0% walk rate. His 20.4% would have ranked 11th among qualified starters but Springs didn't collect ample innings. Throwing at least 162 frames this season is plausible as Springs averaged a tick over five innings per game once he became a full-fledged starter. Springs throws a 92-mph four-seamer, a slider, and an 81-mph changeup. Buoyed by a delta over 10-mph from the fastball, the changeup is Springs best pitch as it generated swinging strikes at a 22.6% clip. An 82.3% LOB mark suppressed Springs ERA about half a run, but his success was mostly earned and should be repeatable for a Rays club adept at managing pitching.
